Great advice Jenna. I think it is really important for Millennials to internalize all of the above! But also, I think it is crucial that employers realize and completely understand the way their Millennial employees are wired. Like you said, Millennials are going to make up the majority of the workforce soon and employers who are not realizing and taking advantage of the Millennial's motivations or what they might not know are going to be out of date. In order to attract and retain Millennial talent, companies need to innovate and help teach Millennials what they don't know (ie. help them develop new skills, collaborate with other generations and how to instill purpose in their work) This will only lead to a more engaged workforce. I'm interested to hear what companies are using innovative employee engagement strategies to reach Millennials?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/523a00dc6bb3f74e5eb9aafddiane.scarpelliWed, 18 Sep 2013 15:37:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/523a00dc6bb3f74e5eb9aafd
Wow. Not angry nor condescending are you?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5239ffc669bedd0e52f5a1fcdiane.scarpelliWed, 18 Sep 2013 15:32:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5239ffc669bedd0e52f5a1fc
The fact is that the people hiring are not smartass know-it-alls like yourself, aceofhurtz. The attractive white lady that wrote the article is just trying to point that out to you.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5239ff306bb3f77b53b9ab03diane.scarpelliWed, 18 Sep 2013 15:29:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5239ff306bb3f77b53b9ab03
Really? because you two knuckleheads are poster boys for why Gen Y's are in fact not finding jobs and living in mom's basement. It must be nice to be a 20-something and believe you have the world by the tail.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5239fde069bedd334df5a1fcdiane.scarpelliWed, 18 Sep 2013 15:24:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5239fde069bedd334df5a1fc
As part of the Baby Boomer generation as referenced in this article. a lot of this makes sense but... fredlled's post and the article do not account for the fact that small to medium businesses will not invest in the ideas or entrepreneurship of an employee with fredlled's attitude. Hiring an employee out of college with little workplace experience is an investment for any company of any size. Time, money and resources go into training and developing that employee. It is painfui and time consuming when an employee you believe has been brought to fruition, has become innovative and a leader leaves because of something fairly trivial in the scheme of things. And that happens. The last circumstance was an employee who decided to move to a different state because she 'heard it was better living there'. She left without a prospective job.
One intern we had told me she was told by the job placement office at the local 4-yr college to leave any position every 3 years or less - it's the only way to get ahead. I told her the first year of a job you are learning the job and getting comfortable with it. The second year is when responsibility comes to those who have proven themselves the first year. The third year is when titles, promotions, payraises start to flow... and then you leave? Just when you have attained seniority/recognition and can move from that. Her choice would be to move ON from that. Screw the people who gave her the chance to start and grow. Screw the company that - contrary to fredlled's perception - is filled with any number of people who want success for the company and within the company.
My experience is that Gen Y's want what they want when they want it. No patience to learn and earn. They grossly overestimate their value and frequently their skills. So best of luck to fredlled and other Gen Y's who see themselves as the center of the universe. Unless you're the next Steven Jobs, you'll need lots of it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5229bb846bb3f70c52b36aa9Bandit KeenaFri, 06 Sep 2013 07:24:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5229bb846bb3f70c52b36aa9
#14 - anyone who wants to blame the company for their problems is going to have lots of opportunities to complainhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/52293b0eeab8eae4498b456aaceofhurtzThu, 05 Sep 2013 22:16:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52293b0eeab8eae4498b456a
I'm so glad an attractive white lady came along to let me know that the principal skillset of attractive white ladies is now the most important thing in the world.

Wow. This, minus the social media bit sounds exactly like what I heard in my Creative Job Search class in 1972. Cutting edge stuff!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522900b0eab8ea61528b4568Michael BeckerThu, 05 Sep 2013 18:07:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522900b0eab8ea61528b4568

Oh please bring your sense of entitlement and superiority to your interview with me. It'll be really a fun time. I might even give you two hours. And, I'll make sure the EMTs are gentle when they take your body out.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5228f7e469beddf44a8b4577bonezThu, 05 Sep 2013 17:30:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5228f7e469beddf44a8b4577
Gee ... Thanks Jenna ... How clever are you? Aside from #5 and #6 these rules are anything any moron from 40 years ago should have known, and those others, well ... Christ, how hard is that to figure out? Congrats on stating the perfectly obvious ... Hope you got paid well for it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52289df46bb3f7b2328b4568fredlledThu, 05 Sep 2013 11:06:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52289df46bb3f7b2328b4568
Exactly! Corporations have no allegiance or responsibility except to the stock price and quarterly earnings. The CEO only has allegiance to their compensation. The BoD only to whoever will grease the skids to become next CEO, and everyone else is out for whatever they can get so yeah, you only have loyalty to yourself and whomever's coat tails you are riding on. Be ready to jump from one patron to the next as their usefulness wears out.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5227891569beddec1b91d37eSeverinWed, 04 Sep 2013 15:25:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5227891569beddec1b91d37e
Typical milennial....blaming everyone else for your problems. I don't owe you s**t, kid.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5227393d6bb3f70312316152​ HélèneWed, 04 Sep 2013 09:44:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5227393d6bb3f70312316152
We always want to land the perfect job after graduation and we get it it's great; but getting the job is only the first step - We, as graduates, still have to prove ourselves on the job. Here's an article with some important insight on what and how to do things once you have your "dream job"http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522689146bb3f7ed3b68b32cAmber KingTue, 03 Sep 2013 21:12:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522689146bb3f7ed3b68b32c
Thank you for sharing this list Jenna. Millenials have different work ethics however they should still try to follow these rules.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522634e069bedd291e383007sweetdougTue, 03 Sep 2013 15:13:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522634e069bedd291e383007

In a rapidly changing economy, young people either rise to the top or don’t survive.

How long with this, until the majority of people put their pens and papers down, gather up their marbles and go home?
I'm betting… Not long.

All I hear is a re-invented version of my grandparents yelling at my baby boomer parents about rock music, TV, positive reinforcement, spanking, not mixing religions and not mixing races....learn how to sell and cold call vs. learn how to collect data then market. Ignorance comes stagnation
Same ole BS.....Remember the last time you took a baby boomer's advice...Buy houses??? Oh yeah how well did that turn out? (talking to you gen x who holds the most debt of any generation)
What about baby boomers murdering US manufacturing and sending jobs overseas to trim the fat on profit margins?
Now we have a union system that was once for fairness but now is just as crooked as wall street trying to get Mo' Money while bankrupting business and state budgets.
Thanks for tanking the US dollar and jobs.
What about marketing for profit schools to drown the youth in debt for a piece of paper that is good as a GED? How is that legal? Oh yeah Babyboomers allowed it.
In the meantime baby boomers are yelling at millennials for inventing social media, flash sales, mobile technology and gadgets that have resulted in the biggest generator of money in the US history; which the entire media, stock market, government runs on.
Sorry but I will continue listening to my music at work and make more money then my gen X and baby boomer peers proportionate to age. How is that upside down mortgage going? Taxes are going up and you owe me a new Dishwasher if my breaks by law; if you don't I will sue my way out of the lease and get triple damages along your landlord permit revoked; enjoy the end of QE when Obama is out. Thanks for the health coverage :)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522615c66bb3f7496c68b305GenX managerTue, 03 Sep 2013 13:00:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522615c66bb3f7496c68b305
Not bad advice. I will add: Put down the iPhone and take out the ear buds when you walk around the office. You look like an autistic kid who needs these toys as some self-calming mechanism.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522606e069beddbf3eeca9ecVlad BedollaTue, 03 Sep 2013 11:57:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/522606e069beddbf3eeca9ec
Well, as every single book in the market teaching and spreading the rules of the new workplace for millenials in the U.S. It's totally bull sh*t. But it's a good way to gain reputation as professional advicer (what is bullshit itself)
